Deep into the Fall now and detecting is going to start getting good. The field was still full of soy beans, waiting for the farmer to harvest. I dug up a nice button, then a silver coin, flat and very worn – thought it was a dime. Turned out to be a Spanish Colonial ½ Reale – could barely make out one of the pillars. Bob found one in the same area a few years back – his was dated 1789. No date visible on this one, but it is old silver for sure.
